Students will receive an acceptance letter via email with a link to register for their program(s). The 10% enrollment deposit must be paid in order to complete registration and secure a spot in your program.

We ask that students register as soon as they can to secure their spot in their preferred program. Nonetheless, admitted students have two weeks from receiving their acceptance letter to register in CampDoc. If a student's first choice program/course reaches capacity during those two weeks, they will be placed in their second choice program/course.

After registering, students will complete their enrollment forms in CampDoc to complete the enrollment process. 

A 10% deposit is required at the time of registration to secure a student's enrollment. Families may pay their remaining balance in as many installments as they would like by logging into the student's registration portal (which they received access to in their admissions letter). 

Unfortunately, we cannot allow students to participate in the program if they have an outstanding balance.

Tuition must be paid in full by May 30th, 2025

No. In order to maintain the integrity of our program and keep class enrollment to a minimum, we can only place a certain number of students into each class. While we cannot guarantee enrollment into your first choice preference, we ask that you look to other additional class options that may match your interests in the best way possible.

If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment, our office will make every effort to place students into their second choice class within that institute. 

Most course materials such as textbooks and other required materials are included in the tuition, and will be distributed to students on Check-In Day. Instructors will inform students ahead of time if they need to purchase any other course materials prior to the start of the program.
